SINGAPORE (ICIS news)--Iran's Jam Polypropylene (Jam PP) has begun trial production at its 300,000 tonne/year plant at Assaluyeh, a company source said on Tuesday.

"We started feeding propylene into the PP plant last week, and should be starting commercial production shortly," the source added.

Propylene (C3) feedstock for the privately owned PP plant is being procured from Jam Petrochemical’s 1.32m tonne/year cracker, also at Assaluyeh, which achieved on-spec production in February.

"The project is 97.5% complete, and was delayed only because of a technical glitch, which has been fixed," the source said.

Jam Petrochemical, a fully owned subsidiary of Iran’s National Petrochemical Co (NPC), owns a stake in Jam PP. The remaining stake is privately owned.
